Learn how to make the best homemade sausage gravy with just five simple ingredients. This easy recipe delivers creamy, flavorful gravy perfect for breakfast over biscuits or potatoes!
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. If needed, add 1-2 tablespoons of butter if the sausage is too lean.
Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the milk while stirring. Continue stirring as the mixture thickens and becomes creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Remove from heat and serve hot over biscuits, toast, or potatoes.
